+    <bddebian> OK, here is a stupid question  I have always had.  If you move
+      PCI and disk drivers in to userspace, how do do initial bootstrap to get
+      the system booting?
+    <braunr> that's hard
+    <braunr> basically you make the boot loader load all the components you
+      need in ram
+    <braunr> then you make it give each component something (ports) so they can
+      communicate

-    <braunr> i'm not familiar with the new gnumach interface for userspace
-      drivers, but can this pci enumerator be written with it as it is ?
-    <braunr> (i'm not asking for a precise answer, just yes - even probably -
-      or no)
-    <braunr> (idk or utsl will do as well)
-    <youpi> I'd say yes
     <youpi> since all drivers need is interrupts, io ports and iomem
     <youpi> the latter was already available through /dev/mem
     <youpi> io ports through the i386 rpcs
